As announced on the list (http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-doc/msg_e721be404c6a5ae8ce5c5bf02f45381c.xml), assume all arches are using the libata framework, so sd* everywhere. includes updating block device and partition descriptions. also added a new included file for boot config (starting sshd, hdparm, etc). synced up several wayward files, including sparc. also changed/dropped usage of some now useless keys, since everyone's using sd*. lots of intensive, invasive changes. and i never even used sed once.

release time. note that since this is beta1, the release dir and stage/media names have been adjusted accordingly. also, the handbooks are marked with a disclaimer=draft, so once the final is out, that will be removed and the release names adjusted. in the mean time, these are live. the beta is officially released. no, it's not april fools, but it is april 1st. :)

#101034 - Adding "-O dir_index" information to the guide
Leaving it out of the real example mke2fs command to "stage" it. When we know
more about this b-tree stability and architectural support we can follow the
SPARC handbook and use it by default.

Adding information on ext3-mounting issue. I mistakenly took the issue for resolved for the network-based installation instructions, but that is not true for the mount-command on the installation cd, only for those in the installed environment
